Every student has their own opinion on the idea of constructing an LBGT center here on campus, including the students of Life Changers and other Christian organizations on campus. I do not speak for all members of Life Changers or all Christians on campus when I say that based on Christian principles, it is morally wrong to construct a center for bisexuals, gays, lesbians and transsexuals on campus.

As a Christian, I have certain beliefs, where homosexuality is concerned, that cause me to resist anything that condones it. The Bible tells us not to even touch the unclean thing (2 Corinthians 6:17), let alone support the glorification of it. The unclean thing in this sense is the spirit of homosexuality. In my opinion, homosexuality is a spirit. God does detest the spirit of homosexuality, but not the man with the spirit. I want to make that clear. God loves us all equally, but there are facets of our lifestyles that he simply does not like. One of those is homosexuality.

The construction of an LBGT center blatantly contradicts the desires of the God I serve. I can not stand in agreement for something that glorifies the very thing God objects. I do believe that gays and lesbians are entitled to the same student experience as everyone else, but I do not support the center, itself. The Bible says that we have and should have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:15, Philippians 2:5). To me this means that not only should we think like Christ, but that we should live like Christ. Would Jesus approve of an LBGT center? I seriously doubt it.

This by far is not a religious university. So if the University chooses to support homosexuality, that is their own decision. I, however, being a student, must pronounce and announce that I, as a follower of Christ, I do not. The members of Life Changers and other Christian organizations on campus are called to be ambassadors of Christ in all that we do (2 Corinthians 5:20). This is why many of us oppose the LBGT center on campus — because Jesus does.
